Well you are obviously much better adjusted and not nearly as paranoid as I am.

Anna,
Have you ever imagined that all of the posts here are really answered by some big old fat guy or woman locked up in a dingy office someplace like the 'call for sex' people who advertise on TV and he or she is answering all of the thousands of individual posts we all submit so that about half of the people we think we're talking to don't really exist.
Wow that would be so f**king cool and expalin why so many of the post of so f**king stupid.

Those of you who have gone to meetings (or who know other Aspies in real life), do you find it easier to interact with other Aspies? Or do you go to these things and act & interact the same way you would in any other social situation with large crowds involved, etc.?

It's about 1000% easier to be youself around other aspies than any body else since you know that even the people who laugh at the way you behave do it with a deep understanding and some level of care.
